A Day in the Life of President Bush (First Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina—many photos): 8-29-06
www.yahoo.com ^ | 8-29-06

Posted on 08/29/2006 5:03:09 PM PDT by silent_jonny

Today In New Orleans, President Bush Discussed The Lessons Our Nation Has Learned Since Katrina, The Work That Has Been Done, And The Many Challenges That Still Lie Ahead. One year ago today, Southeast Louisiana was struck by a cruel hurricane and flooding on a massive scale.

The President has returned to New Orleans to reiterate his commitment and to report what the Federal government is doing to make good on its promises.

However, the one-year anniversary is not the finish line, and many challenges still remain.

I worry more about Jon...he's heading into Iraq and has been made a gunner for his humvee(he's a good shot)...whereas Mike will stay in Kuwait because his Bn is a Helicopter maintenance Bn.....hopefully Mike won't have to leave until June of 07 when he is scheduled to go...by that time Jonathan's tour will be almost over...

"tiny Lutheran church "

To be honest, I'm not sure where the Lutheran church is! We go a Southern Baptist Church south of town on 65.

It makes me really mad that all that money was sent there and not much has been done with it. Plus the whiners . . . but I don't like to get THAT worked up before bed or I'll never get to sleep!

All I can say is ....thank you. Thank you for your sacrifice right along with theirs. Thank you and them for doing what it takes to make the world a better place. Thanks for planting the seeds of liberty and democracy in a land we all thought to be barren as its desert location. The history books will reflect your great contribution to mankind.

God Bless You All.

And to your men....KICK BUUUU-TEY GENTLEMEN.

There would be a lot of counting to 10 . . . or 10,000 if I had to pretend to be nice . . . do you suppose G&L make jokes about them later, behind closed doors?

I'm not Catholic, but have several friends who are...they wear jeans and shorts to Church! That's going too far for me.

I thought about that too, how he can face himself . . . but beings that he is still the mayor, still criticizing the Pres., not making sure his city is taken care of, I don't think he has any inkling what he COULD have done to help the people there. Just no inkling at all.

It is often seen on bedspreads/quilts and curtains and even wallpaper in Britain.

There is General Honore, the man who gave us the perfect phrase during the tumult of Katrina. "Stuck on stupid." :)

He described everything wrong in NOLA with those three words :)
